HC Deb 30 May 1940 vol 361 cc654-5
47. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in respect of ramblers and others who frequent the countryside, he will take steps to draw their attention to, and urge on them, the necessity for special care in not damaging the crops and farmland through thought lessness?

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

Since the outbreak of war wireless and Press appeals have from time to time been made to ramblers and others to take special care not to cause damage to farm crops and livestock. I will gladly arrange for further appeals to be made periodically.

Mr. De la Bère

May I thank my right hon. Friend for his reply?

Mr. Marshall

Is the Minister aware that ramblers protect the crops?
